This paper discusses the application of VSCS(Variable Structure Control System) to position control of a trapezoidal type brushless DC motor. In order to simplify the overall control system and to improve the robustness, a new switching function which is composed of linear combination of only measurable state variables Sr(x) and Sr(x) is defined. The proposed new switching function is implemented using a digital signal processor(DSP). A general PWM amplifier is replaced by an ON-OFF pattern generator for the hardware simplification and digitalization. Experimental results are given to demonstrate the validity of the proposed control method.

The rate of the channel code can be controlled by various methods. Puncturing is one of the methods of increasing the code rate, and the original code before puncturing is called the mother code. Any (n,k) convolutional code is obtainable by puncturing some mother codes, and the process of finding the mother code is necessary for designing the optimum channel decoder. In this paper, we proved that any (n,n-1) convolutional code has (2,1) mother codes regardless of the puncturing pattern and showed that they must be equivalent.

Balb/c mouse spleen cells in vitro sensitized against ICR spleen cells were cultured in conditioned media(CM). The CM was produced by ICR spleen cells stimulated with Concanavalin-A(Con-A), and sensitized lymphoid cells were grown in CM. ICR mouse spleen cells were appeared to be a good generator of IL-2. Optimal growth was seen in growth medium containing 20% fetal calf serum. and 25% CM. When cultures were initiated at 1, 5, $10{\times}10^4\;cells/ml$, the cells were increased in numbers by about 20, 13, 5-fold, respectively, every 9 days. Such growth pattern was sustained for about 4-6 weeks and thereafter the cell growth was diminished gradually. Direct immunofluorescence indicated that 93% of the lymphoid cells grown in CM(for 10 days) expressed Thyl surface antigen. And the cells grown in CM were cytotoxic to the sesitizing ICR mouse spleen cells though cytotoxicity level was not high. According to these results, the cells grown in CM were considered to be cytotoxic T lymphocytes. The lymphoid cells grown for 20 days were nearly unresponsive to Con-A and therefore dependent only IL-2 to be used for IL-2 assay.

The vertically integrated power industry was divided into six generation companies and one market operator, where electricity trading was launched at power exchange. In this environment, the profits of each generation companies are guaranteed according to utilization of their own generation equipments. Especially, the electricity demand shows seasonal and weekly regular pattern, which the some capacity should be provided into ancillary service based on the past demand forecasting error and operating results of electricity market. Namely, if generation cost function is applied to SMP and BLMP as announced the previous day, the available generation capacity of the following day could be optimally distributed, and therefore contract capacity of ancillary service applied to CBP(Cost Based Pool) and TWBP(Two-Way Bidding Pool) is determined. Consequently, it is Possible to use the retained equipments optimally. This paper represents on efficient bidding strategies for generation equipments through the calculation of the contract and the application of each generator cost function based on the past demand forecasting error and market operating data.

The characteristics of the flow and energy conversion in OMACON liquid-metal MHD system are investigated. Numerical simulation of two-phase flow in the OMACON system without magnetic field was carried out by the Phoenics code and the energy conversion characteristics are studied in association with the fact that the mechanical energy loss at the nozzle of the OMACON system are to be converted into electrical energy. In this system, working fluid (gas) is injected through the mixer located at the bottom of the riser, and is mixed with hot liquid metal. Therefore in the riser two-phase flow is developed under the influence of the gravity. In this study, the interaction between the gas and liquid is considered by the use of IPSA(InterPhase Slip Algorithm) where standard drag coefficient has been used. It has been assumed that in the flow regime the liquid is continuous and the gas is dispersed. For the liquid and gas, the continuity equations, momentum equations and energy equations are solved respectively in association with void fraction in the flow field. In order to calculate the energy conversion efficiency, firstly the ratio of the mechanical energy loss of liquid metal flow at the nozzle to the input thermal energy is considered. Secondly flow pattern of liquid metal in the generator has been analyzed, and the characteristics of the conversion of the mechanical energy into the electrical energy has been investigated. For an representative case where Hartmann number is 540 and magnetic field is 0.35 T, the present analysis shows that the energy conversion efficiency is 0.653. This result is considered to be reasonable in comparison with published experimental results.

This paper presents an excitatory CMOS neuron oscillator circuit design, which can synchronize two neuron-bursting patterns. The excitatory CMOS neuron oscillator is composed of CMOS neurons and CMOS excitatory synapses. And the neurons and synapses are connected into a close loop. The CMOS neuron is based on the Hindmarsh-Rose (HR) neuron model and excitatory synapse is based on the chemical synapse model. In order to fabricate using a 0.18 um CMOS standard process technology with 1.8V compatible transistors, both time and amplitude scaling of HR neuron model is adopted. This full-chip integration minimizes the power consumption and circuit size, which is ideal for motion control unit of the proposed bio-mimetic micro-robot. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed excitatory CMOS neuron oscillator performs the expected waveforms with scaled time and amplitude. The active silicon area of the fabricated chip is $1.1mm^2$ including I/O pads.

In this study, we designed the system that helps drivers check all information about parking space at the entrance and find out whether the places is available or not, because the system has 'Image recognition function' which can even recognize car number plates exactly. Besides, we place the webcam close to the car number plate, so that car number can be identified more quickly. Finally, since we set the webcam high, the system keeps us from parking wrong places by displaying on the screen.
